Re: Auto Column - WIW ?
Well, I'm not in desperate need to get rid of it.
I'm actually considering keeping it with the possibility of putting an automatic in my 65 in the future. I'll do some more research on it, but here is another thread I found regarding the rarity of the 3-speed Auto Column. But then again, LILRED66 says the lenses are interchangeable. So if it's just the lens that's rare, then I don't see why someone couldn't just use their 2-speed and then find or make their own 3-speed lens. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=405680 Maybe mine isn't worth $225. And don't take this as a snotty comment; But it makes no sense for me to sell it for $175 to only be able to afford to buy one of your $175 dollar 2-speed columns. But I will surely give it more thought before I let it go for less than $225 Especially if I'm considering putting an auto in my 65 sometime in the future. Here is some close up pics: What Sweptline calls 'substantial pitting and wear' isn't that at all, but mostly that it's dirty. I did a quick wipe. Thanks guys for your interest.

Re: Auto Column - WIW ?
I see LT1 Burb accepted your offer for $175 shipped.
That outta work out well for you, beings you have all the needed missing parts from one of your 2-speed auto columns. I'm glad you found what you needed. -Robert

Re: Auto Column - WIW ?
I think it's more about what it's worth to the one buying or selling, when it comes to really rare parts. We can try and get someting for less by telling the seller it isn't worth that much, or we can wait for someone like LT1 Burb cleaning out his garage of extra auto columns.

Re: Auto Column - WIW ?
Robert, I did end up just taking LT-1 Burb's column for the 175.00 because I figured with other members jumping in and saying these 3 speed columns are worth so much it would never have ended up being equally priced or cheaper and since it was the exact same column, I just went that route because like you said, I do have the missing parts. I very much appreciate you giving me first shot anyway.
Something is only worth whatever someone is willing to pay, but generally speaking these 3 speed columns are worth more than a 2 speed auto column and 2 speed columns average 125.00-175.00 dollars depending on condition and other variables so I would say a 3 speed is probably worth an average of 200.00 to 300.00 depending on who needs one....I have never paid as much as 175.00 for one in years past, but they are only getting rarer to find, so hang on to that one and it might end up worth 500.00 in a few years |
